I think Max had it right to begin with: America is a Republic democracy. Neither side likes to acknowledge the other word though. Say if America was a 'representative Republic', it suggests, to me anyway, there's no punishment for abuse of power. You just keep voting the Republican in. You just have to look at MTG, Boebert, Gosar, etc. Surely a Republican within those districts could run against them based on merit/not being like them. Alas that doesn't suggest to me what they'd do.
